Habits That Waste Energy

Not turning off lights when you leave a room

When brushing your teeth, turn off the faucet when it is not in use.

Unplug appliances when they are not in use. Example that toaster you may not use every day, or your phone charger when it is not in use.

Replace your furnace filter to reduce strain on your furnace.

Set the air conditioner/ thermostat lower when you are not at home.
